Thanks for the pics. It is in great condition. It must have been very well cared for in the last 90 years.

Hi,

nice cross! Nice karton! However I thought that these crosses where attributed to Deumer in the 30-s. So could it be an awarded piece? Do the award karton and the replacement cross belong together?

Best regards,
Michel

What is the award date?

What is the award date?

I don't know the date. Nothing paper's was there. Only this IC set and a Medalbar with
EK 2 and Friedrichkreuz.

I believe these crosses were made during WWI.

It doesn't detract at all, but I think this one is a 30's issue also...

Hi Trevor,

I always thought that these where 20-30s, even TR Deumer crosses. I would be pleased to hear otherwise. Do you have more info on your statement?

This is the same cross:

I agree but, I'm not 100% sure about it.
I have exactly the same cross and case. The cross is a three piece all Brass model and resembles a WW1 type manufacture although who really knows.

Is the one shown magnetic or non-mag?

Nice ensemble by the way.

Hi Chris

The cross has a non magnetic core , three piece variant..

Thanks Andi

I was looking at the reverse of yours again and it does seem to have a brass frame also. It looks like it by the catch?

I'm about 90% to the plus side of thinking these were war time production. My example is fairly worn with a repaired catch of the same style that i've seen on period field repairs.

Regardless, these are nice EK's with loads of character and a nice crown

Hi Chris,

I could say the same for myself. There is a bit of uncertainty, but I'm almost sure.
